Did you catch today’s SEVP InFocus Webinar?

The Summer 2018 SEVP InFocus Webinar aired today, Aug. 16, 2018, from 2 to 3 p.m. EDT. During this webinar, SEVP representatives—including a special guest SEVP field representative presenter—covered key topics of interest to designated school officials (DSOs), including:

  • Proposed changes to SEVP fees.
  • School certification process reminders, including updating a locked Form I-17, “Petition for Approval of School for Attendance by Nonimmigrant Student,” and updates to the Degree Programs field on the Form I-17.
  • Tips and reminders for DSOs to ensure international students maintain their status during the back to school season.
  • Statistics about SEVP’s response to emergencies over the past year and reminders about campus emergency planning.

If you missed the webinar, a recording and additional resources are available on the Summer 2018 SEVP InFocus Webinar page on Study in the States.

Are you interested in how DHS entities work with the academic community?

Join the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), Project Campus Sentinel (PCS) and Project Shield America (PSA) on Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. EDT, for the Government Voices Webinar: Campus Partnerships with DHS. During this webinar, PCS agents, PSA staff and SEVP representatives will review the three programs, their role in the international student life cycle, how they work together, and their work with the academic community.

This webinar is intended for DSOs, campus safety and law enforcement officials, and those with an interest in how U.S. Department of Homeland Security entities work with the academic community to maintain U.S. national security.

Pre-submitted questions will be accepted until Friday, Aug. 24, 2018, and we will also take live questions during the webinar. Stakeholders are encouraged to send pre-submitted questions regarding the roles of these three entities and how they work together to SEVPOutreach@ice.dhs.gov.
